I am using Python more and more this last 3-4 years and lately I added a very simple Formatter to my logging and was not happy with the (not overly extensive) boilerplate needed to actually use it, but then I found that in 3.15 logging.basicConfig takes a formatter parameter now.
I like constant improvements to the language. I was an occasional (a bit unhappy) Python user, but only since 3.11 I can say I like it. Typing and structural pattern match (I tend to use it much more than ifs now) are awesome.
I also like how it has been getting more performant with every release. It’s never going to be the fastest language, but there’s a lot of Python out there and making it a bit faster helps.
For me, UV has made me return to it for swiss army knife jobs or trying to maintain grad-student research code, where trying to make stuff work portably used to exhaust my emotional capital.
